A tribute to the unsung heroes of firefighting that takes readers along on a high-stakes mission to battle one of the deadliest natural disasters. A lone figure stands on a tower, watching and waiting. Lightning strikes. Tree bark sparks. A wisp of white smoke rises in the distance. It is time to act. Frightening images of raging wildfires top the daily news. On the ground, smoke fills the air as people prepare to flee their homes ahead of encroaching flames. Who helps to get this crisis under control? And what do these heroes do? They hold the line. They Hold the Line delivers a dramatic inside look at the work of the highly trained first responders who risk their lives to fight wildfires. From hotshot handcrews to those who support them, wildland firefighters serve as stewards of the land, managing the health of our forests and the safety of our communities. Powerfully written by Dan Paley and brought vividly to life by artist Molly Mendoza, this compelling and informative book explores wildland firefighters' complex jobs in a fascinating and approachable way. Thoroughly researched and packed with graphics, labels, sidebars, vocabulary, scientific concepts, historical facts, and so much more, They Hold the Line is an outstanding resource for young readers, families, communities, classrooms, and libraries. REAL-LIFE INSPIRATION: The author was inspired to write this book by a question his sons asked as they watched fires rage from their Southern California home in August 2018: "Who protects us from the fires?" This book is an attempt to answer that question. TIMELY NONFICTION PICTURE BOOK: As fires rage over a wider swath of the United States and countries across the globe, and as fire season lengthens year over year, this book will resonate with anyone who has been impacted. And as these fires make national and international news, there's an increasing need for resources even for kids who aren't affected directly. IMPORTANT RESOURCE BOOK: For families and communities experiencing the aftermath of a fire or other natural disaster, this book provides incredible insight into firefighters' responsibilities. It can also encourage neighboring communities to empathize and help those in need. FIREFIGHTER BOOK FOR KIDS: Firefighters are perennially popular with young kids as they visit fire trucks and stations, dress up as firefighters, and learn about public service professions. They Hold the Line introduces the roles that make up firefighting crews, explores firefighting techniques, and takes an engaging graphic nonfiction approach to the fascinating topics of fire, firefighting, and fire safety. EXPERT AUTHOR: Dan Paley's background in public policy and planning, as well as science communication, makes him uniquely qualified to educate readers on this complex topic. Perfect for: Young readers fascinated by firefighters, fire truck crews, and natural disasters Teachers, librarians, and parents seeking accessible nonfiction books for boys and girls Readers who enjoy graphic nonfiction books Anyone affected by wildfires/wildfire season

“To Arms! To Arms! The British are coming!” It is 1777, and the English invade South Carolina with fated Lt. Gen. Charles Earl Cornwallis and a young lieutenant colonel in the British Legion, Banastre Tarleton, whose exploits as a cavalryman in the South Carolina campaign would become the counter-legend to the famous Francis Marion. It was Tarleton who cleverly dubbed Marion as “the Swamp Fox.” Passionately romantic but wholesome, Hold the Line is fiction that rings with truth, full of believable characters and adventures set against the backdrop of an exciting chapter in real American history. Sashsa, Colton, Ziva, Drake, and even George Washington himself show up in the pages of this series, keenly developed by a brilliant writer into living, breathing, three-dimensional people with whom we can all relate. This book makes you long for times of old, for deeper relationships, and fosters a greater appreciation for our country and our faith. Not all books can stir such emotion, but the writings of Joyce Case certainly do. The hard work and passion of the author herself is seen in her headstrong heroine and the entire cast of this story that is difficult to put down. As hordes of English intruders sweep the colonies, Ziva Isabella Dupris Gray fights relentlessly to keep her own independence from Scottish Captain Drake Cameron, the man who stirs her very soul. Will her consuming passion for him make her surrender her precious identity and join him to pursue the ultimate independence of the colonies? In this sensational tale of passion and an undeniable love, Sashsa Nicole Lorraine Dupris Gray and Colonel Colton Tyler Gray continue their fight for independence alongside the Commander-in-Chief General George Washington. Danger lurks behind every shadow as the secret patriots of the spy ring provide vital correspondence to the Spymaster. Victory rings out, and freedom is had, giving birth to a new nation. The saga lives on to more exciting adventures with a new heroine to make her debut.

The future is not a shiny beacon of hope and good times. The predictions of a glorious golden age with the development of star drives and a massive exodus of humanity to the stars and a frontier atmosphere were all false. Humanity was rocked by a brutal alien invasion that left a billion dead and many traumatized. The shock was made worse by the understanding that true intergalactic war as pictured in any sort of entertainment was not supposed to be possible. But it had happened. Now two generations later humanity is starting to reach for the stars again and is developing all those life changing technologies. Ron and his friends loved gaming. The VR world was something they knew well and when the first International Virtual Reality Competition was announced they desperately wanted to enter. Through a fluke and some good luck, they are not only enrolled but they have their VR room reserved at the local gaming centre. Now they just need to get ready for the best gaming of their lives! At least that was what they thought. They didn’t know that a high-level AI that had been programmed to find a solution on how to defend our solar system from another alien invasion was on the loose. All Ron and his friends want to do is enter the competition and do well. They don’t realize that the entire system is about to be hijacked and a rogue AI has its own agenda. What can go wrong in a thirty and sixty-minute gaming session in a VR world?
